The (Relative) Slow Down

Things are beginning to calm down now. Jason is starting to feel better and is back to work. His body is still readjusting but he's getting there. This is our big push week at work ending with a Friends of the Library meeting on Friday and a used book sale running through the weekend. I'm taking today off to rest because I'm feeling a little run down and the next three days are going to be crazy at work.

We had a lovely Easter. The boys were really excited. Xander is an excellent egg finder. Ryker wasn't interested in finding eggs until he found his basket. When he found it I think half the city could probably hear since he screamed, "BIG QUEEN!" (He got a big "bling, bling, McQueen"). Xander was equally excited but quieter when he found his basket with Voltron in it. He jumped up and down and my eardrums thanked him. We also went for brunch with the Carriveaus and played some spades. All in all a nice day.

All in all the last couple of months have just flown by. It's hard to believe that it's almost April and my lovely niece will be 2. A month later my baby boy will be 3. Where does the time go?

Now I need to make a list and go grocery shopping. =)

All is well

Jason came home this morning. He ended up staying in the hospital two nights because they needed to do a second procedure to make sure he didn't have any stones stuck anywhere else. He didn't, so yay! Otherwise he might still be there.
Thanks to everyone for all the kind words and support. He's resting and not in any pain. We feel really lucky and relieved.

Keep us in your thoughts

And wish us good luck. Jason's having his gall bladder out this afternoon. Here's hoping for a speeding recovery and that he'll be feeling better soon.

Thanks all!

Too much excitement

Some good, some bad.

Let's start with the good.
So last weekend was the much anticipated, never to disappoint Girls Weekend. It was wonderful, refreshing and far too much fun. My girlfriends from college are fabulous, witty and know how to have a good time. It still amazes me that after nearly 10 years of post college life we get together and it feels like no time has past at all. Yes, we've all got jobs, pets/kids, husbands and responsibilities; and we've all grown personally as well. But at the heart we are still the same people that became friends in college. I'm very grateful for you all!

This week however has been a roller coaster. We found out last Friday (on my way to said Girls Weekend) that Jason had gall stones. So this week had more tests (looks like he has to have it out), and a false alarm yesterday when one of the doctors thought he needed it out immediately. That didn't happen and now we have an appointment on Monday to figure out when he's actually going to do the surgery.

Plus I'm chairing a search committee for a new librarian at work. And redoing department budgets. And working on subscriptions for 2008-09. And...and...and...

You get the idea. Anyone ready for another Girls Weekend? =)
